Google's TurboQuant landed for vLLM.cpp's KV cache – but it's not just useful for KV! A possibly more impactful implementation is for quantizing embedding vectors for RAG. github.com/oaustegard/remex is a Python and Mojo for just that purpose.
GitHub - oaustegard/remex: Retrieval-validated embedding compression. 4-8x smaller vectors, proven recall. Based on TurboQuant (ICLR 2026).

A 4-Bit Model and a 1-Bit Index
Running NVFP4 Nemotron on a CPU, then mapping every embedding-compression method at matched byte budgets. The two quantizations compose.

Quantization and Qwen3-VL✔️ AutoRound W4A16 (INT4)✔️ AutoRound NVFP4 (llm compressor format)❌ support by vLLM (tried stable and dev releases)VLMs are now very easy to quantize. And then we can’t use the models with fast inference frameworks like vLLM and SGLang.It…— Benjamin Marie (@bnjmn_marie) November 5, 2025

FOSDEM 2022 - LibVF.IO: vGPU & SR-IOV on Consumer GPUs using Nim
I'd like to showcase LibVF.IO's new LIME Runtime feature (Lime Is Mediated Emulation) and do a deep dive on open source vGPU technology in general.

NVlabs/cuda-oxide
cuda-oxide is an experimental Rust-to-CUDA compiler that lets you write (SIMT) GPU kernels in safe(ish), idiomatic Rust. It compiles standard Rust code directly to PTX — no DSLs, no foreign language bindings, just Rust.

Demystifying llm-d and vLLM: The race to production
Learn how vLLM and llm-d work together for efficient and scalable large language model (LLM) inference. Discover the benefits of disaggregated scaling, expert-parallel scheduling, and KV cache-aware routing.

Unreal Scoop: Data-Driven CVars
If you use UE5, you might have noticed there’s a new-ish feature called Data-Driven Console Variables, and you might also have noticed that nothing comes up when you Google this. There’s not much to it, but in the interests of having something come up when you Google this, here’s what I’ve figured out about data-driven cvars.
